THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The Oktibbeha County Sheriff’s Office is expanding its surveillance and license plate recognition (LPR) camera network by 20 additional units funded in the FY 2026 budget and is seeking Board approval to transition internet services from Fastnet to C Spire to support this deployment. The proposed annual network cost with C Spire is $12,412.80, up from $8,400 with Fastnet, and will be covered by existing Service and Maintenance budget allocations.
This indicates that the core networking and connectivity vendor for the Sheriff’s camera ecosystem will be C Spire moving forward, in parallel with new camera deployments. Vendors offering camera hardware, LPR analytics, cybersecurity, storage, and monitoring services can position themselves for integration, optimization, and future expansion projects around this growing surveillance network.
Camera expansion already funded in the 2026 fiscal budget; this item specifically moves network backhaul to C Spire to support additional cameras and LPR units.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Oktibbeha County's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
